This "fast track" approach to really rather complicated matters should be stricken. The Internet does not require us to reinvent jurisprudence (perhaps prudence being key here).
  Karl's model is the only one that makes any sense at all. Hundreds of years of developing legal structure should not be erased by some untrained personnel within a few month's time.

Woof, that's pretty close to the method used to judge witches - throw 
'em into the river, if they drown they are not witches, if they live 
they are witches and must to be burned at the stake.

ICANN, however, is already using an even more pro-trademark method - it 
denies existence to any TLD that does not agree to follow ICANN's 
trademark-uber-alles kangaroo court system (UDRP). For example, my .ewe 
TLD is neutral and leaves such disputes to be fought among the actual 
parties in the national and international legal systems. That means 
that .ewe will not be allowed into ICANN's closed marketplace of TLDs.

In the world of ICANN, restraint of trade is not an evil, it is a way of 
life.
